A brand new SAN Manager
Build a high-efficiency iSCSI or Fibre Channel SAN (FC SAN) environment with Synology storage and benefit from more efficient management at every step.
Fibre Channel support
Specially designed for SAN environments, the Fibre Channel protocol brings high availability and low latency to mission-critical storage networks. Easily build or expand FC SAN environments with compatible Synology storage.1
Cutting-edge LUN features
Advanced LUN functionality significantly improves VM performance and offers lightning-fast snapshot creation, recovery, and cloning, as well as VMware® VAAI and Windows® ODX support.
Intuitive management
A streamlined management interface makes connection and permission management exceptionally easy, even in large-scale SAN environments.
For large and small deployments
Support for iSCSI as well as Fibre Channel means that Synology storage systems integrate as easily in smaller setups as in enterprise environments.
Build your SAN with Synology storage
From small to large deployments, from focus on speed to cost consolidation, Synology offers hardware options for different setups and goals.
Performance
Choose the right storage option to power your virtualized workloads. Both all-flash and hybrid setups support 10/25/40GbE2 interfaces to maximize network bandwidth.
All-flash FS series
Delivers the highest IOPS and lowest latency required for databases and analytics.
Hybrid storage
Leverages SSD cache to provide an optimal balance between performance, cost, and storage capacity.
Scalability
When your storage needs grow, easily scale up your memory size or storage capacity on the fly (to up to 180 drives/1.5 PB raw capacity3) without interrupting existing services.
Integration
Synology integration tools and packages including Storage Console, Storage Replication Adapter, and SMI-S Provider reduce the steps needed to manage and protect virtual environments.

Management integration with Synology Storage Console
VMware® and Windows® integration tools help you save time on configuration and administration.
System health monitoring
Monitor the health of your Synology storage directly in VMware® vCenter and Windows®. Keep ahead of possible issues without switching environment.
Streamlined datastore setup
Synology takes the pain out of datastore configuration. Create and connect to datastores in VMware® vCenter in a few easy steps.
Synology CSI Driver for KubernetesNew in 7.0.1
Provision and manage storage volumes for containers directly from Kubernetes (K8s). Create, delete, expand, or reject volumes and manage snapshots from the K8s CLI. Volume expansions are mirrored seamlessly from K8s to Synology DSM.
Certified storage
Synology SAN storage is certified for major virtualization solutions including VMware® vSphere™, Microsoft® Windows Server®, Citrix® XenServer™, and OpenStack Cinder.
Robust data and workload protection
Synology's integrated data protection and failover solutions help you protect against data loss and service disruptions at no additional cost.
Snapshot Replication
Back up fast changing data with scheduled snapshots at rates of up to once per five minutes. Replicate copies to other servers and restore services within minutes when disaster strikes.
Synology High Availability
Create high-availability clusters of two Synology NAS and let services failover to an alternative server in case of system failure. Keep services and data available with automated real-time protection.
